Bleeding during sex

What are the causes of bleeding during sex? The other day I was having sex with my boyfriend and I started bleeding a lot. There was no pain so I thought I was starting my period, but it only bled for a few minutes and then it stopped. Should I be concerned?

You should see a gynecologist. You may have a polyp on your cervix, could have a cervicitis, or an infections. Exam should tell which it is .
No, I wouldn't be concerned. But I am concerned that you are on birth control, because it can cause depression, weight gain, hair loss, and very serious diseases, and it does not prevent STDs or HIV.

You may be able to decrease bleeding during sex by eating fruits, as they support your healthy veins and arteries. Fruits like peppers and oranges are good for this, along with blueberries and strawberries.
The ideal answer is to have it checked i.e. need a pelvic exam.

There are numerous causes including sexually transmitted diseases, crevicictis, cervical polyps , abnormal uterine bleeding, unscheduled bleeding on oral contraceptives or other hormone based contraceptives, and bleeding from small blood vessels due to trauma from sexual relations. If this is a recurrent or persistent problem, see your OBGYN.

There could be many reasons for this problem including infection, abnormal cells or a tear. Is your Pap smear up-to-date and normal? If the problem continues or recurs I would recommend you see your physician for an evaluation.
